Holiday rentals with a hot tub in Kawela Bay

Great place! The place has everything we needed and there are supermarkets nearby if you need extra things. Beach is literally an elevator away and not crowded at all which is perfect! The area is further from the popular tourist sites so you definitely need a car. There is a gate to this community so we felt safe while staying here. It's nice to see the sunset just right out of windows everyday while eating dinner.

What an incredible villa! Fantastic location right next to the beach yet tucked away so felt nice and private. We own several short term rentals, so I can really appreciate the care and thoughtfulness that went into all the details in the villa. It had everything we needed and many items we didn’t know we needed but really appreciated! The bed was super comfy and we loved the decor and feel of the whole villa. So beautiful! We loved being right on property of the Ritz but having more space and amenities than being in a hotel room. Would highly recommend!

The only word for Penny's place is perfect. The ocean view and balcony are beautiful. The condo itself is well maintained and very clean. The kitchen is well stocked with both cooking and eating utensils as well as extras like spices, oil and condiments. Beach gear is also provided. Apart from the condo, the property itself is also well maintained and secure as it is gated and requires a security fob to enter the parking lot. From a communication perspective, Penny is probably the most proactive host I've stayed with. She provides a binder of info on restaurants and activities in the area but was also willing to provide some guidance on hikes and other activities when I inquired. I'm not sure when we'll get back to Oahu, but if Penny is still hosting, we will be staying at her property!

Peaceful beach. Good for swimming/snorkelling, turtles, coral reef, fish. Felt safe walking. Nice pool and of course right on the ocean , could hear the waves on the shore all the time. Beautiful lanai and view from lanai. All the equipment( portable beach chairs and beach towels) to enjoy beach with) Full kitchen well stocked with cookware, implements and dishes. Excellent use of space in condo design. Short drive to Ka’ena point state park with a trail, tidepools and monk seals, albatrosses and other nesting birds. We had a great time- weather couldn’t have been better. Thanks!!

We wanted a family vacation that wasn’t the typical crowded Honolulu / Waikiki experience. Kathleen’s unit did not disappoint. Secure facility, clean grounds, an excellent pool with sauna, the beach was semi-private with only a handful of people on the beach at any one time (all friendly, by the way), the unit itself was clean, well appointed and exactly as advertised. The view - Unparalleled. The sunsets from the apartment were unbelievable. Kathleen is very helpful in providing a lot of information up front, so we were well-prepared for any contingency when we arrived. She was also extremely responsive with any communication once on-site as well. Definitely can recommend both Kathleen and this unit.

Peter’s place is excellent for a couple. There’s an outdoor closet on the balcony with everything you would need for the beach. Papaoneone beach is absolutely spectacular. We saw whales in the distance (mid April). Saw turtles frequently. Snorkeled with the turtles. Went crazy with my gopro. The surf breaks rough and this beach is not for kids younger than teenagers in my opinion. The pool is great. Hot tub is small but great. Rec room is great. We played a lot of ping pong. I would rent it again. Only downside is the homeless population on the west side of Oahu combined with the overall poverty of the area. It’s totally third world just north of electric beach and goes all the way up to Yokohama beach. So we weren’t sure how long we could leave our car unattended in the public areas. We felt secure with the gating system at the condo . It’s unbelievable that the state of Hawaii lets the west side go like that. The beaches are gorgeous. Electric beach was the best snorkel we had.

A truly perfect stay. You get all the access to Turtle Bay at a far better value. The space was incredibly comfortable and modern. Being walking distance from turtle bay was really wonderful.

Looking up from the kitchen, dining room or back patio to see the majestic Waianae Mountains, witness the sights and the sounds of the nature preserve (dozens of bird songs and even goats off in the distance) and always having a view of the ocean and Leeward Side, was most wonderful. The listing pictures even don't do it justice. Lovely house and neighborhood too. Mahalo for sharing your space.

We had a perfect vacation at the condo! Everything we needed to relax and enjoy a private quiet vacation in an absolutely beautiful location. The view is unbelievable! Whales and Turtles so fun to watch! The beach is practically private! The homeless situation on the way there is alarming to see at first but the security at the condo is very good and once in Everything is good. We enjoyed the Country Cafe and Lanterns for good local food. We would recommend this with five stars!!
